First double digit run! (Read 844 times)

I did my first 10 mile run EVER this morning. I meet a running group on Saturdays (training for the Little Rock Marathon/Half-Marathon) and our run today was HILLY! In fact, on the course handouts he titled it, "OUCHO RUN". Good lord, it was hard! But now that it is under my belt (literally, haha!) I feel great!

I did my first 10 miler this weekend too! Do you notice that as you gradually work up to these numbers and accomplish them, they don't sound so scary anymore? If I tell non-running friends that I ran 10 miles they think it's insane. They always throw out some relative distance, like "dude that's like from my house to my office and back...you're crazy."

Great job on breaking double digits! How are them 1223's suiting you?
I remember back in the early 2000s meeting this guy who ran 5 miles every morning. Personally thought it was crazy at the time.
I still think running 10 miles a day (regardless of weather) as a commute in Western Canada is crazy, but that's what one guy who works for my current employer does.
"dude that's like from my house to my office and back...you're crazy."
Friend of mine refuses to walk to work even though he is less than a mile through a residential area too!

I love the 1223's, they are SO COMFORTABLE! Worth every penny!
I can't imagine running 10 miles to work. I'd need a shower and a full set of makeup and blowdryer in my desk! LOL!
